THE ARTISTIC PROCESS
- Each design silk scarf is individually hand made
- Beginning with natural white silk the artistic design is drawn by hand with a gutta resist.
- Using French silk dyes, the color is applied with paint brushes creating unique blended color combinations
- When dry, the silk scarf is steam set to permanently fix the color.
- Once steaming is complete each scarf is individually hand washed and pressed
- The Finished painted silk scarf is preshrunk and completely colorfast and washable
- Each scarf is hand cut with hand rolled which may result in slight variations in the finished size
THESE ART PIECES take time and each are unique in their own way. I have made my best effort to show proper coloring of the silk and artwork in my photo
